Car Hire Fresno Airport

Fresno Airport Mini Guide

Most people arrive in Fresno by car, and a rental car from Fresno Airport will get you there in any car of your choice. The drive to Fresno takes about 5.5 hours from San Diego, 3 hours from San Francisco, and 3.5 from Los Angeles. A car is pretty much a necessity to get around in the city, but traffic congestion is not as bad as in some other California cities. Depending on the time of year you travel to Fresno, there are plenty of annual attractions. The Tower District Mardi Gras Parade takes place every February and it is great fun to select your spot to watch and cheer as the parade goers go by.



The early spring weather makes it a perfect time to watch a parade. It is fun for children as well as adults. Shakespeare in the Park is held June through September, and many interesting Shakespearean plays can be seen such as Othello or The Taming of The Shrew. There are many nearby cafes and restaurants to choose from to have a bite to eat before or after a play. Bentley's Farmers Market is ongoing with live music every Friday from mid April through mid November. The Farmer's market always has a dazzling array of fresh flowers and produce, and the music sometimes spurs people to dance. Going to the market is a wonderful way to spend the day while in Fresno.
